Choose Your Future:With Guns and Freedom - or Without

A statement from Gun Owners of America, KeepandBearArms.com,
and others in support of JPFO and Innocents Betrayed

Here’s a Future where millions understand, right down to gut
level, that "gun control" kills. These future citizens know
that civilian gun ownership makes the world safer and
happier. This is the world we WILL have once a critical mass
of people see the life-changing documentary film, Innocents
Betrayed:

This world isn’t perfect, but people are empowered to guard
their families from harm. Children play safely under the
protection of their mothers and fathers. This future
resembles the "simpler, sweeter" times of the past. But it’s
better because there’s so much less tyranny and violence
lying ahead.

Criminals never know who might be able to fight back because
nobody knows who’s carrying guns. There are no government
databases of gun owners. Nobody has to ask the government’s
permission to defend her own life.

Firearms are inexpensive. All the pointless bans and
restrictions have been removed and people once again have
entered the gun-making and gun-dealing business.

You can buy your self-defense weapons privately though the
mail, without waiting periods or asking permission.

Governments are polite to citizens. Government employees
once again understand that they are public servants, not
masters. Conniving politicians and gun-prohibitionists are no
longer tolerated.

There’s less chance your son or daughter will be used as
cannon fodder — sent to die in some country you’ve never
heard of because the people of that country were too feeble
to overthrow their own tyrants.

Wives, mothers, sisters, students, and college professors all
understand why firearms matter. They understand emotionally,
as well as intellectually. Women honor the men who care
enough to protect them - and women are better able to protect
themselves against rape and abuse.

Genocide never happens again. There are no holocausts, no
mass slaughters, no boxcars full of innocents. All around the
world, religious and ethnic minorities practice community
self-defense.

Millions understand that they — and you — have a right to
defend life and liberty. Self-defense once again takes its
place as the first law of nature — a respected right of all
civilized human beings.

How does one 58-minute film make all this happen? Because it
goes right to the gut. Without arguing about laws,
statistics, or legal interpretations, it reaches right in and
changes minds and hearts by SHOWING, in the most
unforgettable way, what happens to people whose governments
impose "reasonable gun control."

Once they’ve seen "Innocents", we already know that people
from all walks of life, all beliefs, sit stunned and shocked — and
then stop believing that "gun control" is good for
them. They understand "gun control" is a vicious wolf
disguised as a friendly, protective dog.

It’s that simple, that fast. All it takes is getting enough
people to see the movie an we eradicate gun hate.

Just show the movie.

NOW if you prefer, here’s a future where millions go on
imagining that "gun control" will make them safe. This is a
world where Innocents Betrayed never gets outside the realm
of Second-Amendment supporters:

This future looks (and smells) familiar because we’re already
on its borders.

Gangs roam the streets, trading in banned weapons — some
taken from you by the government — as well as other
forbidden goods. Violence in the cities soars.

Women frantically call 911, but stalkers, abusers, and
rapists know they have plenty of time to do their deeds then
get away before the police arrive.

Corrupt politicians seize more and more power, knowing that
submissive and disarmed citizens not only won’t resist, but
are helplessly dependent on government favors and
"protection".

You turn in your guns or live in fear of the government
jackboot at your door. Turn in your guns and you live in fear
anyway.

You can’t even have the simple pleasure of taking your son or
daughter out plinking on a Saturday afternoon. Your only
access to firearms is at a government-controlled facility,
where you’re allowed to fire a rationed number of .22 shorts
at paper targets. Government officials take careful note of
your proficiency. Those who shoot "too much" or "too well"
are watched by federal agents.

Sport hunting no longer exists. All game is reserved for
government cronies. Or game animals are allowed to
overpopulate, destroy the environment, and die of starvation
and disease in the name of "environmentalism".

Soldiers patrol American streets, trained to see everyone as
a potential enemy.

Ultimately you may not even have a choice about the job you
do, the schooling your children get, or the doctor you go to.
Because the government has given itself the right to make all
decisions. And you’re helpless to resist the utopian schemes
of your "leaders," because one act after another of
"reasonable gun control" has eaten away not only your
gun-rights, but your freedom.

Around the world, millions continue to be slaughtered by
their own "protectors" … their own governments. And
suddenly, because you’re helpless, even your nice, civilized
country is no longer exempt from the ultimate horrors.

How does the absence of one 58-minute film lead to this
horrific chaos? Because no matter how many intellectual or
legal arguments gun-rights groups make, people’s hearts
remain dedicated to the program of the "gun controllers."
People remain tragically ignorant of history’s #1 lesson:
That when self-defense is against the law, anyone, including
your own government, can kill you.

If they see Innocents, they stop. They turn around. They
change. They understand the value of firearms in citizens’
hands. That fast. No long arguments. No millions of dollars
spent. No losing battles. They just get it.

Nothing like Innocents has ever come along before. Because
nothing has ever reached "the TV generation" as this film has.

For the first time, gun owners have it easy. You don’t have
to go out and buy all kinds of books or magazines. You don’t
have to memorize hundreds of laws or statistics. You don’t
have to beg politicians. Just show the film. Then sit back.

Gun-rights groups are putting aside their differences for the
moment. ALL of us need to get behind this film. If this film
succeeds, then all our jobs become easier. Barriers to
freedom fall.

Our goal: For 5 million people to see Innocents Betrayed.
If 5 million see it, then show it to their friends, then the
"gun control" illusion will topple. People will not only KNOW
better. They’ll have seen for themselves.

Americans will once again have the common sense glowingly
described by Thomas Paine. They’ll have the courage of
Patrick Henry. And they’ll have the tools to ensure that
courage and common sense can live into future generations.
